AN ARGUMENT FOR CENSORSHIP

I have never wanted any kind of Internet filtering software, workplace firewalls, or other censorsing mechanisms getting in the way of my web browsing. I've never understood why anyone would turn on Google's "SafeSearch" function unless she worked inside the Mormon Tabernacle's day care center.

That is, until today.

This morning, I was looking for a picture of Oprah Winfrey and conducted a Google Image search. Eventually, I stumbled upon this, which I have censored for you:

If you click the above photo, which you really don't want to do, you can view the uncensored version that popped up early on in my search results.

Not only is the photo not safe for work, it's not safe anywhere. Just who the heck is making fake Oprah smut, anyway?
